Is bitcoin volatility here to stay?

[Janation]

Volatility is one of the main characteristics of cryptocurrencies and as Bitcoin is also a cryptocurrencies you should expect it to show some fluctuations every now and then in its price. It's through this fluctuations that crypto investors make money out of crypto investments. So yeah, bitcoin volatility is here to stay.

That is true, yeah.

Even though there are a lot of investors that want a stable investment, Bitcoin will never lose its volatility in the end. investors will even support its volatility since it is needed for them to earn money. Also, its been a long time and we all know it is decentralized cryptocurrency, no group or third party that controls it, no one will make it stable.

I am a strong believer in HODL. I expected bitcoin volatility decreases as time goes by, I totally didn't expect such big price change in the past several days.

Is bitcoin volatility here to stay and not decrease?

In my opinion the volatile rate will increase with the increase of price because we have very low amount of bitcoin so which makes it more sensitive to the market changes but when it comes to stay forever or not,only we have the answers.If we keep trading the bitcoins and not using as currency forever then the volatility also will stay forever or we understand decentralization is more important and start using as currency then we will see much less volatility.

It is as you mention that as long as there are people out there who are still using cryptocurrency it will stay but if people stop using it the bitcoin won't stay and the price will decrease until it loses it's value. Since bitcoin is still used until now think I think it will stay even if the price goes up and down.

I didn't said stop using bitcoin.Just stop using bitcoin as a trading asset then we can control the volatility on the value tremendously.

The bitcoin volatility will still happen, but we don't know if the volatility will decrease or increase because that will depend on the market and how the supply and demand of bitcoin.
And that is what we saw with bitcoin in this week, and maybe we will see another surprise from bitcoin soon.
The price will go up and down in the next weeks or next months, so we need to be careful if we want to buy more bitcoin.
Make sure you know when the good time to buy so you can prevent from buying bitcoin at the high price.

Volatility can't be change, decentralised currency always going to be fluctuative, it maybe can be decrease by mass adoption, the mass adoption going to make the demand and supply become more balance, but it can't be stable as fiat price

It will decrease as the market matures and as crypto starts to move into everyday society, and then once society has a clear idea of what bitcoin is worth.
However that is still quite some way away, so expect considerable volatility for the next few ears at least.

As what I understand, all cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin are volatile investment. So whether you like it or not, we should accept the fact that the risk in investing to crypto and Bitcoin is it's volatility so it will never decrease or gone.

A market that is driven by greed and profit will always be volatile, don't expect this to change overnight, we do not have regulation it's peer to peer it's decentralized who can stop whales to make a profit and who will stop traders to do what they want to do.

It will be here to stay until god knows when. You need to know that the price of Bitcoin is only determined by the demand. It does not even have to do with supply because the supply is fixed. So everything is depending on the demand. The demand of BTC is highly reactive to news, all kinds of news, even if there are some that are simply fake or FUD. It is also reactive to steps taken by the governments for or against it. It is also reactive to its own project development. This goes on. That is why the price will always be rising and falling.

Well for the past couple of years the bitcoin price has been relatively cheap, so people are still buying and selling it on regular basis and not holding like you, but i am sure that with the price getting higher and higher and closer to a point where if you sell you won't be able to buy again, the volatility which we are seeing now will decrease and we won't see as much of a price drop, because everyone at that point will just be holding.

As far bitcoin is involve or concern, its volatility is very high and as for whether is here to stay to me is hard to decide because volatility can lead to more bull or spontaneous deep down. We can still refresh our minds on the 2017 era.

@franklin2058 it seems to me that you have just entered the crypto world, because you don’t seem to be aware of the fact that volatility and bitcoin prices go hand in hand. If you have brought bitcoins at current levels do not panic, just simply hodl them and soon you’ll be in profits. Bitcoin volatility is always going to be there, it’s one of those features which makes bitcoins unique in comparison to other currencies.

bitcoin has been known for its volatility , it is both bad and good
it is good for traders and , it is not that good for the people who receive bitcoin as a  payment
IMHO bitcoin will stay volatile and the price fluctuations will be even crazier than before
looking at the predictions and the next year's impending halving , we could see unprecedented growth
if you want stability , go for USDT tether

the market is still very small, and there are still many people who own many bitcoins and there are many people who have lots of money to buy bitcoins, imagine if a billionaire buys bitcoin using any exchange? Imagine if someone who has many bitcoins decides to sell everything at once in an exchange? it will take many years to see the volatility decrease, at least we will not see big pump and dump, I think

And Bitcoin's market is small because it's not fully regulated, big players are still afraid to get in, or at least get in openly and in large amounts.

Another thing is that people expect it to be volatile, they speculate on it and with their actions cause more volatility - the current rally is caused by FOMO around the next halvening and supposed bull cycle, but people FOMO'ed so hard that they created a bull market long before it should have started.

[Ludmilla_rose1995]

Volatility in Bitcoin is always there. Those who have bitcoin will always seek profits in the crypto market and only a few use bitcoin to transact. daily increases and decreases keep moving. we cannot guess the price of bitcoin tomorrow.

[BrewMaster]

it has already decreased. if you check the history, years ago like in 2010-2013, it was very easy to manipulate the market and that meant a high volatility. for instance bitcoin history has a big bubble in 2013 where price went up about 500% in one month and reached $1200 later we found out Mt Gox (the dominant exchange of that time having 85% of the volume) manipulated the price.

today however we can no longer see such things and no exchange has any more than 10% of the volume and in most cases they only have 2%.
the wild swings have also decreased and all of it suggests growth in the market, less manipulation and harder or reduced volatility.

it is reasonable to assume this trend is going to continue as bitcoin market grows in size.

If you are a good trader, bitcoin`s volatility is your advantage, buy low sell high.

I agree with what you said though, bitcoin`s volatility decreased in the past months but surely there will always be advantage and disadvantage on it.

[bitbunnny]

Volatility is part of Bitcoin nature, it's simply how it's functioning. This can't be changed and you can avoid it so every time you make an investment you should have this in mind. No matter how some would want that Bitcoin will not become stable coin. I don't think traders would even want it because afterall volatility is something they make money on.

bitcoin volatility will continue to happen and to expect more stable prices i think it requires massive adoption and thus the possibility of prices can be maintained and reduce the level of volatility that happens

[djkyno]

I believe that Bitcoin's volatility will stay as long as this cryptocurrency is really decentralized, and not controlled by governments. In fact, this feature is really attractive especially for the new comers, because it will encourage them to hold BTC for the long term.

I agree with you that it's probably related to the size of the market. When there are more people, there should be a smaller chance that a small group of people can make a difference. So, if there's, say, some information about China banning Bitcoin, some people will do panic selling, but lots of others won't care, and thus the price will not be affected in a significant way. Not everyone believes that the volatility will become less significant, though. I think it can be explained in the following way: the intellect of the mass in inevitably smaller than the intellect of specific members of it, and an event that affects a part of the mass can cause something like a huge chain reaction afterward. In this case, the volatility of Bitcoin might even get worse with time.
